so we got an "e" from the gov cam, a "T" from tower cam. Did we use the "RL(i?)" shadow on the building and "A" from the birds loop..."alert" perhaps? nothing happens in searchnet yet, but we know the keywords unlock when all the clues are out. must be a letter in tomorrows cam.

oo i hadnt notice that before. The missing letters from the bottom list are:c, a, i, s, p and gency. The only anagram i get is "agency pics" which gives the 462 pdf. The letter "A" can be seen in the new regency cam, but cant see a red cross?

Can anyone isolate the number of dashes flashed up in todays video so we know the length of the new puzzle word?

also what does: HC.62 no.6 mean scribble on the emg_092 pdf?

Day 2: Video.
Quote:
This terminal's huge, I must have covered every area of it today and not just the public bits... The baggage handling area and the storeroom behind the shops, but there's no-one.

There must have been thousands of people in the terminal not to mention the people on the planes, I can't be the only one left... I went to every gate and shelter but then I just wandered around; don't think my brain's quite processed it all yet.

Besides I shouldn't really be here anyway, was s'posed to be in New York, showing off the new prototype and meeting that nice man with the glasses and I don't know, drinking Cosmopolitans...

[Cam cuts off for a bit. Then shows Maia searching around w/ flashlight.]


It's 10 dashes btw: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Day 2-1: Written.
Quote:
I don't know if anyone else is using PublicNET, but even if no one's listening, I need to talk to somebody. Funny how that's such a basic human need. You take care of food and heat and security and what's the next thing you want? Company.

Well, nobody's turned up yet. If there's still no one here by tomorrow, I'll head into London.

I've been out on the tarmac and you can see the flightpath east over town, because every couple of miles, there's a filthy black column of smoke where a plane has just dropped out of the sky. They're still burning. The rain isn't damning them down. It's just grim. I can't tell what's smoke and what's cloud anymore.

When it happened... I was at the gate, looking at the runway through the window, and everything went out: the landing lights, the terminal, the planes... And it was quiet too. I thought I could still hear voices echoing for a second... but then.

And just when my eyes were getting used to the dark,

I heard this jet engine dying and then the crash as it hit the tarmac and barreled along in this nagled fireball.

I didn't scream or anything - it was too quiet. Not one person in sight and I was too self-conscious to scream.

I did yell later, as loud as I could and everywhere I went. Until I got a signal on my phone, but all I could access is this kind of closed network... It's working, obviously - but can anyone read this? Is there anyone?

If they're dead, where are the bodies? Can people just disappear like that, without even a puff of smoke, just wiped out of existence? What can do that? I was thinking that an EMP could knock out the power, but the people - what can cause that? A weapond? An accident? Natural, man-made, extraterrestrial? Terrorists? I mean this is a big set up from ramming a car bomb through some glass doors.

And how the hell did I survive? There are insects here - I know some life survived but no other people? Was it only humans who vanished?

I've got this - well, I was going to call it paranoia, but I think any fears are justifiable given the circumstances - I just worry that things could disappear at any moment. Like, this is stupid, but for two days I didn't let my hand luggage out of my sight. I had the prototype with me - the beautiful, groundbreaking prototype. Now, I've let it go. I've just locked it away in a storeroom here so it's safe. I'll come back for it later, when I'm safe. Hopefully.


And there's an "A" in the road as slime pointed out; letter's we've aqquired so far on the cam and in that notice are as follows.

Quote:
LEETACAISPGENCY


Also if you look through the Regency cam; there's at least one shadow (By a taxi at the top middle half of the cam) which resembles that of a person rather than of a post which he's standing by... The shadow is a lot taller and you can actually make out physical features.

I also didn't happen to see a Red x on this one, anyone else? - Also owing to our whole cellphone/mobile phone thing before I sent "MAIASTURN" to 82252 and got a message to go to the mobi again (http://maisturn.mobi) so I have done.

There are 10 dashes:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Letters from the cameras:

L (Bridge)
N (Government)
A (Regency)

Letters from the scrambled CommNET pages:

C
A
I
S
P
GENCY


Perhaps the scrambled bits are a code? Also, maybe they fit in with the red crosses in the satellite camera pictures or those weird little black and white shapes on the bridge cam?

Werewolf... Where did you get an "N" on the Gov't Cam?

The only letters I recall us getting from the cams were L (Bridge cam shadow) E (Bridge/Gov't Cam roof) E (Cam? Back of car) T (Bridge cam Oil drum near the boat) A (Reg Cam road).

Also after txting "MAIASTURN" to 82252 and going to http://maisturn.mobi you get a complete mock up of her phone.

Messages, pics, contacts etc. Like a normal phone menu. But right now I can only seem to access the messages part which has none availible.

EDIT: I tell a big fat lie!!

Ok... Calendar:

Quote:
ALERT - Mum's BDay.


Quote:
ALERT - Return flight info.


Quote:
ALERT - Gramercy Tavern.


Now on the Mum's BDay nothing specific....

Return flight info. - JFK T3 20:55
Arr LHR T4 09:25.

Gramercy Tavern. - Gramercy Tavern 9:00pm.
http://www.gramercytavern.com/ More than likely OOG though. It is in NYC.

Damnit... Unfortunately due to the now fact I have no credit left on my phone; I cannot access the "Video", "Pictures", "Notes" or "Call log" options on her phone.

Notes: Looting list.
Quote:
Phone batteries
Clothes - tshirts

Torch, batteries
Shoes - trainers, boots?
Food - hi cal, lo weight
Marker pen
Binoculars
swiss army knife.


Call log.
Unfortunately nothing on here.

Movie.
There are four movies. I'm transfering them to my phone. How I'll get them online I don't know lol.

Vid 1: Just Maia stating her name, saying she's @ Heathrow Terminal 4; talking about the subspot and how she's able to upload the vids etc; asking for help.

Vid 2: Just by a railway bridge, looking around focuses on a signal.

Vid 3: In a HUGE Field somewhere (not the one we saw before) Looking around, seems like it's by Heathrow.

Vid 4: The one we've seen where she's in the field and the guy is stalking her. - By the looks of things that's by Battersea Power Station.

Web.
SubNET screen which says "NO CONNECTION. Access to SubNET failed. Please check connection and try again."

You cannot access Maia's settings or her phonebook.

I might be wrong though, I guess it could be a Z or an S too.

Ran an anagram solver on all the found letters; some interesting stuff but nothing much to go on.

Anyone else into the possibility they set these up to open a new thing every day but they weren't s'posed to go backwards?

Just a thought... I'm waiting to see what we get tomorrow and whether or not we're then going to be able to *possibly* interact w/ Maia.

Edit: Also just a thought; has anyone else noticed the difference in the emergencysubnet background pics now??

Here's a hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's no longer any "Crash" damage visibility. IE: Smoke, fire etc.

went back and looked a the regency cam. it looks like a "B" where the sunroof is on the sliver car at the top of the picture. that gives two letters from each cam, e, n, e,t, a, b. not sure about the "L" shadow from tower cam.

But then again the "E" on the roof, is pretty much given to us the same way the L in the shadow is.

But "Beaten" is the only *real* word which can be made of those letters and it brings up nothing of significance in the SearchNET.

so what are the 'definite' letters we know about? not the ones that are sort of kinda speculation? and do we have any letters filled in for the 10 blank spots?

None of those are 'sort of kinda speculation' the cams have given us an L, E, E, T, A, N, and B somewhere along the path.
